BR: It's interesting that in all your years of producing new directions in your art, you have never gotten into death imagery. A great deal of risk but not death. Is that something that you ever think about?

RR: Not often. I have always said that life has nothing to do with death. They're two separate things, and that's the way it ought to be. If that's innocent, so be it. Innocence is not like virginity. Virginity you can have only once. Innocence you have to nourish every day.

Love the post on Saul Bass. Funny how I marked that time in my life by remembering his titles to movies like, "mad,mad,mad,ma world". I do think that it's difficult to create without any feedback whatsoever - so get that! :)
